I received this product for free for testing purposes, however all opinions are my own. This product has a great scent that lasts through out the day, however I was able to use less of the product with similar results. I felt as though the recommended portion was too overpowering.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I typically use the Downy Unstoppables with all my laundry. This time I tried the Downy Fresh and Protect Beads. Just from appearance they seemed to be the same product. The only thing that was different was the odor. I ended up using this on a load with my sons clothes in it. Right when I opened the washer I could smell how good the clothes smelled! Which is the same as the unstoppables. When the dryer was done, the smell radiated through out our condo! After a couple of days in the closet or half a day of my son wearing his clothes, the good smell was gone. :( The clothes still smelled clean when pressed against your face but you couldn't just smell them when holding my son. The unstoppables have a smell that lasts a long time! I would say that I'm going to continue using the unstoppables but if I hadn't tried those first then I would say the Downy Fresh and Protect Beads are awesome!

I normally just use the standard dryer sheet to freshen my clothes so I was excited to try this product. I used the April Fresh scent and it was lovely! Not to overbearing, a nice light scent. Very easy to use, just toss in be washer and done. I was surprised I was able to still smell the scent through out the day. I will be buying this product in the future. I tested Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all the opinions are my own.

These smelled fantastic in the pouch, but I was a little skeptical. Would this scent last after doing a load of laundry and would these beads leave any residue behind? Happily, the answers are yes and no. I tossed these in with a load of darks and whites (I tried to use one bag for both loads, but I ended up using most of the beads in the white load). I also added bleach to my whites and when it came out of the washing cycle it had a strong bleach odor and I though that the beads had failed. I couldn't really judge the scent on the dark load as I used so few beads, but I was happy to see that there didn't seem to be any residue on my dark colored clothing. I tossed it all in the dryer and when I went to get my laundry 45 minutes later, I was amazed at the change -- everything smelled wonderful! I had to stop myself from burying my head into my laundry as I was in a shared laundry room. I'm also happy that it's not a fleeting temporary scent -- my bath towel still smells like it came out of the dryer (though the scent may be a little lighter) a week later. I received my Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free to test and review, but all opinions are my own.

Its has a nice smell that really gets to your clothes and just makes you feel so fresh and clean. I loved how its in wash its a great idea. I wash som of my intimates by hand and left some of the beads in the water STILL worked lol really stuck to my hands. Once my clothes dried the smell didnt dissipate. I will say that I usually wear a piece of clothing 3-5 times the smell lasts about 2-3 wears.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the downey fresh and protect beads on my husbands work clothes which tend to get pretty smelly and this made the clothes smell very good! It really lkeft his clothes smelling clean and refreshing. i am so glad theat i got a chand to try this product and would recommend it to others and woulkd buy for sure! loved it!

I received 3 generous sample packs of these in wash odor shields from influenster complimentary for testing purposes, however all opinions are honest and my own. This product worked great for work clothes, play clothes, gym clothes, and all my other heavily sweat soiled garments. I have tried similar products like this in the past but I didn't notice that they did anything other than add some scent to the clothes, however this downy one actually removed all traces of any odor and left the clothes clean and smelling fresh. I do suffer from sensitivity to certain smells so for that reason I couldn't give this product a 5 star rating. I am however able to use it on my husband and my sons clothing without the scent bothering them so for that reason will be purchasing a full sized package of these when I go to the grocery today.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was not a true believer that the little beads would do anything for my laundry routine,I was even afraid thst would stain my clothes.well I couldn't be more wrong. They boosted the smell like 3 times,leaving my clothes with fresh smell for weeks,my closet smells amazing and my husband is very pleased. It's now part of your groceries list :)

I was skeptical when I got this product to try for free from influenster, but as soon as I opened the package, I was in love. These smell AMAZIIIIING and the scent lasted for 3 or 4 days after my sheets got out of the dryer and we're slept on. My new favorite laundry product!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I got this, I was honestly not even sure what they were! They're just little white beads that I learned later that you're suppose to put in with your detergent. Didn't really think highly of it at all, especially because when opening the package the smell is too strong for my liking, but when I used it, before I even checked on the laundry, I could smell it throughout the laundry room and my clothes weren't too overpowering, just smelled fresh. Especially when I put it in my dryer, the smell still stayed which is great because when I usually put it in the dryer , the detergent smell is usually gone. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!
